Dans la péninsule de Yucatan (Mexique), les Mayas développèrent une technique de tissage pour leurs hamacs, similaire à la technique des indiens qui habitaient dans la profondeur de l’Amazonie. Ces hamacs paraissent des filets de pêche multicolores, mais avec la différence très important qu’il n’existe aucun nœud dans le filet; ça lui donne une grande flexibilité. Tous ces hamacs ont une palette de couleurs différente.

Source text - Spanish Proyecto Paz y Conservación en la Cordillera del Cóndor
Pd2/00 Rev. 2 (F) componente ecuatoriano
Resultados del Proyecto:
• Dos Áreas de Conservación en la Cordillera del Cóndor, con sus planes de manejo, por 120 mil hectáreas aproximadamente
• Un Plan de desarrollo económico y social en el marco del ordenamiento del Territorio y la sustentabilidad
• Un Plan de gestión ambiental para controlar la minería y mantener fuentes de agua
Valores de biodiversidad y conservación
La Cordillera del Cóndor forma parte de la “tercera cordillera” situada al este de la Cordillera Real de los Andes. Se extiende 150 km de norte a sur y alcanza hasta los 2900 m
Corresponde al Jurásico inferior y a la formación Napo del Cretácico (150 millones de años), compuesta por rocas sedimentarias, de origen marino y continental. A partir del Mioceno (hace 30 millones de años) los sedimentos fueron levantados por movimientos tectónicos, formando la Cordillera del Cóndor
Sobre los estratos inferiores hay rocas calizas, formando cuevas por la erosión de las mismas. Los estratos superiores, que definen las crestas y los cerros en forma de mesa de las elevaciones más altas del Cóndor, son areniscas de la Formación Hollín. Las rocas de areniscas, pobres en nutrientes, son pocas comunes en los Andes, que más bien son de origen volcánico.
Las cerros en forma de meseta de roca arenisca son similares (pero de más reciente formación geológica) a los “tepuis” de la región de los Altos de Guayana en el nororiente del continente sudamericano. Se encuentra cierta afinidad con las plantas de los Altos de Guayana
Se encuentran 16 formaciones vegetales, desde el bosque amazónico hasta bosque montano alto de tepuis sobre arenisca y sobre caliza, los cuales hacen el 90% de la superficie: con alta diversidad y un alto grado de conservación.
El piso Premontano es de muy alta importancia para la conservación
Los pisos Amazónico, Montano bajo y Montano son pisos de alta importancia para la conservación
Al menos 138.856 ha de las 198.365 de la cobertura original de la zona norte de la Cordillera del Cóndor son adecuadas para la conservación.
Translation - English Peace and Conservation Project in the Condor Mountain Range
Pd2/00 Rev. 2 (F) Ecuadorian component
Project’s Results:
• Two Conservation Areas in the Condor Mountain Range with their management plans, for approx. 120 thousand hectares.
• One economical and social development Plan within the framework of Territorial order and sustainability.
• One environmental management Plan to control mining and to keep water sources.
Biodiversity and conservation values
The Condor Mountain Range forms part of the “third mountain range”, located at the east of the Real Andes Mountain Range. It has an extension of 150 km from north to south and reaches up to 2900 m
It appeared during the Inferior Jurassic and corresponds to the Cretaceous Napo formation (150 million years), composed by sedimentary rocks from continental and marine origins. Since the Miocene (30 million years ago), sediments have been arising due to tectonic movements, thus creating the Condor Mountain Range.
Over the lower strata there are calcareous rocks which, due to their erosion, form caves. Upper strata defining peaks and table-like hills of the highest elevations in the Condor, are sandstones of the Hollín Formation. Sandstone rocks, of volcanic origin and poor in nutrients, are not common in the Andes.
The plateau-shaped hills (of more recent geologic formation) are similar to the “tepuis” of the Altos de Guayana region, up in the northeast of the South American continent. There is some similarity with the plants of Altos de Guayana as well.
There are 16 vegetal formations, ranging from the Amazon rainforest to the high montano forest of tepuis on sandstone and limestone. These compose 90% of the surface, with high diversity and a high conservation level.
The Premontano floor is of very high importance for conservation.
Amazonian, low Montano and Montano are floors of high importance for conservation.
At least 138.856 hectares of the original 198.365 of the northern zone in the Condor Mountain Range, are appropriate for conservation.

Source text - English IDA PEERDEMAN,
PROPHETESS FOR THE THIRD MILLENIUM
On August 13, 1905, Ida Peerdeman is born in Alkmaar, Holland, as the youngest of five children. Shortly before World War I the Peerdeman family moves to Amsterdam. Ida is just eight years old when, after giving birth, her thirty-five-year-old mother dies along with the child. Following this great sorrow which deeply affects everyone, the oldest sister, Gesina, has to give up her wish of becoming a nurse. Only sixteen years old, she strives hard to be a good mother for her three sisters and her brother Piet.
THE FIRST MEETING WITH MARY
The twelve-year-old Ida witnesses a heavenly apparition. At the end of the street she sees an overwhelming light and a radiant woman within, who looks like a very beautiful Jewish woman. The child immediately recognizes her as Mary. With her arms spread out a little, with a kind, joyful look, and without saying a word, she stands in the shining light. Never before in her life has Ida seen something so beautiful. After the woman makes a friendly sign, the girl hurries home.
It is understandable that her father admonishes her to remain silent about it, recommending that she forget everything. “For God’s sake, don’t tell this to anyone. You would be ridiculed and considered crazy. That’s all we need!” So Ida does not speak about it, even though something similar happens on two of the following Saturdays. The beautiful woman appears again as if in the sun, smiling and remaining silent, just as the first time, while Ida returns home from confession.
All of this happens in the month of October 1917, in which Mary appears for the last time to the three shepherd children in Fatima. Ida, of course, knows nothing about this. Fr. Frehe, as Ida’s confidant and the counselor of the Peerdeman family, hears about the extraordinary happenings. He, too, strongly encourages her to keep it to herself, and, better yet, not to think about it anymore. And thus Ida’s initial preparation for the later Marian apparitions remain completely hidden.1
Thirty-three years later, during the 25th apparition, Ida anxiously asks Our Lady, “Will they believe me?” In her answer Our Lady herself reminds Ida of her three-fold coming in 1917, saying, “Yes, that is why I came to you before––when you did not understand. It was not necessary then; it was the proof for now” (December 10, 1950).
Translation - Spanish IDA PEERDEMAN,
PROFETA PARA EL TERCER MILENIO
Ida Peerdeman nació el 13 de agosto de 1905 en Alkmaar, Holanda y fue la menor de cinco hijos. Poco después de la Primera Guerra Mundial, la familia Peerdeman se muda a Amsterdam. Ida tiene sólo ocho años cuando, luego de dar a luz su madre de treinta y cinco años, fallece junto con el bebé. Ante esta gran pena que afecta enormemente a todos, la hermana mayor, Gesina, debe dejar de lado su deseo de convertirse en enfermera. Con sólo dieciséis años, trabaja duro para ser una buena madre para sus tres hermanas y su hermano Piet.
EL PRIMER ENCUENTRO CON MARÍA
Con doce años de edad, Ida es testigo de una aparición celestial. Al final de la calle ve una luz intensa y a una mujer radiante dentro de ella, que parece ser una mujer judía muy bella. La niña la reconoce inmediatamente como María. Con sus brazos un poco extendidos, con una mirada amable y alegre, y sin decir una palabra, ella está de pie en la luz brillante. Nunca antes en su vida había visto Ida algo tan hermoso. Luego de que la mujer hiciera una señal amistosa, la niña se apresuró para llegar a su casa.
Es comprensible que su padre le amonestara a permanecer callada sobre el hecho, recomendándole que olvidara todo. “Por amor de Dios, no le digas esto a nadie. Serás ridiculizada y te considerarán loca. ¡Es lo único que nos faltaba!” Así que Ida no le cuenta a nadie sobre esta aparición, aun cuando algo similar ocurre en dos de los sábados siguientes. La bella mujer se aparece otra vez como si estuviese en el sol, sonriendo y permaneciendo en silencio, así como en la primera vez, mientras Ida regresa a su casa luego de confesarse.
Todo esto sucede en el mes de octubre de 1917, cuando María aparece por primera vez a los tres niños pastores en Fátima. Ida, por supuesto, no sabe nada de esto. El Padre Frehe, como confidente de Ida y consejero de la familia Peerdeman, ha oído de estos sucesos extraordinarios. Él también aconseja seriamente que se lo guarde para ella misma y aun mejor, que no piense más en ello. Y entonces, la preparación inicial de Ida para las futuras apariciones marianas permanece totalmente oculta.1
Treinta y tres años después, durante la 25ª aparición, Ida pregunta angustiosamente a Nuestra Señora: “¿Me creerán?” En su respuesta, Nuestra Señora le recuerda a Ida de las tres veces que se le aparición en 1917, diciendo: “Sí, por eso Yo me he aparecido ante ti antes, cuando no lo entendiste. En ese momento no era necesario; era la prueba para ahora.” (10 de diciembre de 1950).
